injury accident some somewhere embarcadero and broadway and you can see the backup is already building here in oakland northbound. this is a big problem for the nimitz freeway northbound and traffic is building. now let's talk about the hit- and-run in san jose, somebody died as a result of being hit by a car and the car sped away and police are not releasing any details except that it was a dark car they are looking for and we will bring you the latest as soon as they are set up and ready to go. we have developing news from oakland, the fbi is busy helping police in a major homicide investigation. they are questioning for than a dozen suspects with a standoff that ended hours ago. it started yesterday afternoon. s.w.a.t. teams surrounded a house on

continued throughout the night and everything is being coordinated here on the island. i spoke with a spokesperson for the coast guard a short time ago who told me they had four aircraft flying overnight and two cutters in the water as well. they are trying to find any sign of those four missing boaters, a husband, a wife, their four-year-old son and that boy's cousin. the family was aboard a sailboat that reportedly started taking on water late sunday, 65 miles off the coast. they received a mayday call from the boat named charm blow. that caller said they were going to try to fashion a raft out of coolers because there was no life raft on board the boat. they were trying to figure out exactly where this boat was coming from or going to and

they don't know who was on board. also there were no reports of a missing boat and the coast guard has not been able to trace a boat named charm blow and now the coast guard plans to check for a boat by that name in canada and seattle and hawaii still they don't believe this is a hoax. >> there is a lot of elements which lend credibility to the fact that there are people out there. there are four people in distress and that's why we are throwing all of these assets at it. >> reporter: a lot of resources are involved. the navy sent in a plane to help out and the national guard has sent in a helicopter as well. crews are looking. >> through hundreds of miles of ocean and they are throwing out life crafts to give them a

backing up into hayward. news chopper 2 is showing the backup and it is going to take awhile for this to unwind and we also have trouble on the nimitz freeway. look at all of this traffic, it is at a standstill in hayward heading south. the other problem is 880 in oakland and they just recently cleared a garbage truck accident. it was minor injuries there only but traffic is backed up towards the coliseum. i want to show it to you and they have maps just north of the coliseum. that will be a pretty good alternate root for you -- route for you. 880 -- 80 westbound between panola aneurysm month are -- until and richmond are seeing a backup, let's go to steve.

at first they said three people survived and were rushed to hospital and one of those survivors has now died. the crash happened near the ancient city of luckser. there was an explosion on that hot air balloon before it crashed to the ground. it is one of the worst accidents involving tourists in egypt. a search goes on and they have not heard from the two since january 25th and the last posting they made on facebook, the couple said they were going to peru. they told the u.s. embassy witnesses saw the couple on february 16th in a foreign town and they wanted to go on a boat trip in the amazon. and a search is on for a family that told the coast guard they were abandoning ship. they are believed to have gone

missing 65 miles west of monterey. sal legs savage -- alex savage has more on the clues they are using to find this missing family. >> reporter: well there is a lot for the coast guard to sort out. so far nobody has reported them missing and the search continued throughout the night and everything is coordinated here from the island. they had boats in the water and now more help is on the way. we want to show you some video which came in just a short time ago. a coast guard aircraft took off from sacramento and this plane is headed to the search area to take part in the search for the family of missing boaters. they are trying to find any signs of this husband, wife and four-year-old son and that little boy's cousin. the sailboat reportedly started

sinking 65 miles off the coast. the coast guard received a mayday call from a boat called charm blow and they are hoping somebody recognizes the voice. >> we are abandoning ship, we are abandoning ship. >> reporter: now the caller said they were going to try to fashion a raft out of coolers because there was no life raft on the boat. they don't know exactly who was on board the boat. there are no reports of a missing boat and the coast guard has checked with harbors and they will check with half portions as well as canada and hawaii and seattle and they have not found a record of any boats called charm blow. they don't believe this is any sort of a hoax and they believe this is a legitimate distress

homeless people and the drug activity. now the bathroom, she observed people doing drugs in that bathroom and it doesn't make sense because it is a middle- class neighborhood and located in an older part of the town and it's not really known for crime and the only problems are here at the park. in the last few days, gilroy police have arrested several people for using drugs in the park and many people have been cited for drinking alcohol and there is growing concern because the park is across the street from brown well middle school. they are doing enforcement at the park because officers do not want offenders to think they can do what they want in plain view of the children. parents say this is long overdue. >> it seems like the park makes it really bad and there is a lot of stuff and we have had a lot of incidents with homeless

people like trying to come in our house and stuff and it is really bad, we have called the cops a bunch of times and we are wondering why they don't ban it. >> reporter: so far they have arrested richard st. cloud in the park and one of the other people they arrested was a convicted felon and he was selling drugs out of his car at the park. police say they expect to have more special enforcement operations here in the coming weeks and back out here live, we have been here since about 5:00 a.m. this morning and the park has been empty. we have not noticed any strand yens -- transients hanging out in the area or anything that a period shady and we hope to hear back from police about what sort of drugs were being sold here what time of day happened and school is expected to start in the next couple of hours across the street from the park and we also hope to

is causing a big backup? they are showing us a huge backup which has resulted in the two lanes being closed for a while and southbound is backed up out of hayward, the accident was near stevenson and the traffic is slow so if you are driving into the area you need to give yourself extra time and just getting onto the freeway you notice it's much more tight. again the lanes have been reopened and the two left lanes were closed near stevenson because of this crash and all lanes are open now but traffic is slow. let's look at the 880 westbound and you can see some traffic, also 880 northbound because of an earlier crash which is now gone, traffic is backed up and it is beginning to clear up and 580 is not all that bad as you drive over to the bay bridge. i want to show you the bay bridge, it is backed up for

and it puts a windchill at 44. i have seen some mid-to-uppers. clear skies, cool to cold, sunshine maybe a few high clouds, it is just a system and a not left. a couple of clear skies and they have no trouble warming up and it's getting warmer thursday and friday, sunday it is a little cooler. this will help wake you up, this has nothing to do with rising oil prices and we will tell you where that money will be going. a close call for seniors living in a senior care facility and firefighters were called in to get these people to safety.
